Winegrowing of 23 ha, where one cultivates human heat with the same care that one brings to the vines, privileging fauna and the flora, “brooding them” to extract their quintessence and to let them from it express itself as well as possible, during a perfectly controlled and traditional maturing. These impassioned owners have indeed in heart to make discover subtleties of their environment, their soil and their work, so that each one of their bottle is a source of user-friendliness. Their daughter, Mathilde, work with them, her brother, Auguste, occupy more cellar. Since nearly 25 years, the Natter family is vivid by an Hmong team - originating in the mountains of the Laos - integrated into the culture of the wine. She impregnated single relation that these women and men maintain with the vegetable world. Together, they engage and take part in the installation of a protection of the local biodiversity. In 2005, the winegrowing gained the Trophy of the Best Very Small Exporter, at the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the club of the exporters of France. The agricultural regional Meeting decreed in Cécile and Henry the price of Honor for “atypical Vine growers”. The family has in heart to make discover subtleties of their soil, their environment, their work so that their bottles are this discrete bond between nature and themselves: source of marvellous user-friendliness.
Exceptional Sancerre blanc L' Expression de Cécile “L' Essence des Terres Blanches” 2002, a wine of robe of a yellow shining, combining nervousness and fleshy, with the nose envoûtant, delicate and persistent, where one finds notes of white flowers, apple and nut, perfect on a fish with the furnace. Sancerre fermented François of the Barn 2004 is charmer, with the intense aromas, suave, very harmonious, subtle and powerful at the same time, where the ripe fruits and the fresh flowers intermingle, perfect on crayfish. Suberbe, the Sancerre blanc L' Expression de Cécile “L' Essence des Terres Blanches” 2006 develops these notes of smoked quite specific, a wine vinified very well, of brilliant and limpid robe, nose of fern and acacia, of a nice roundness, suave and persistent. The Sancerre rouge cuvée l' Enchantement 2005 (wine making and maturing out of barrels of oak), with the notes of prune and humus, very slightly spiced stops some as it should be, of intense color, with tannins present and silky at the same time, is a great wine. Their Sancerre rosé 2007 is always the best of the appellation, of a large aromatic smoothness, with the nose where the fresh fruits, the pink and the quince prevail, subtle, of a great persistence in mouth with nuances of strawberry of wood.
